Apollo Festival 2020 is York’s number one affordable, family music festival. Featuring big name acts alongside local unsigned talent and ensuring a great day is had by all ages!

New for 2020, Friday night will be an intimate affair featuring acoustic acts and preparing the crowd for the Saturday, it will be a relaxed vibe eye opening setting.

The main event on Saturday will see four stages of signed and unsigned artists, a comedy stage, as well as our headline acts participating in ‘Question and Answer’ sessions throughout the day.

Similar to previous years, the Kids Quarter will return with tenpin bowling, hay bail climbing frames, face painting, arts and crafts, balloon modelling, storytelling and a children’s disco, as well as the much-loved funfair, with activities to keep the entire family entertained.

A new addition to the festival this year is a stage run by Musicians Against Homelessness, who provide opportunities for up-coming talent to play in our acoustic tent and raise money for homelessness services around the Yorkshire region.

An array of street food, drink, craft beer and cider will be on offer, however festival goers will be permitted to bring in their own food and unopened soft drinks and water (no alcohol).

Major acts playing the Festival will include:

• Stereo MCs

• The Hoosiers

• Bez & Rowetta
